The Bertie County native comes to the district from the Edenton-Chowan School District, where he has served as an assistant principal since 2020 and was selected Assistant Principal of the Year for the 2021-2022 school year.
“Grantley Mizelle has built his career in Northeastern North Carolina. He is a passionate leader with high expectations and a strong vision for success, ” explained Dr. Michelle White, Superintendent of Martin County Schools.
